John Cage to Merce Cunningham, June 29 1943

no connection without willingness to be seen. no connection without curiosity and understanding, without compassion and forgiveness. no connection without tolerance and inconvenience. no connection without the courage to divulge feelings, thoughts and needs. no connection without putting the health of the bond before pride or the comfort of hiding. no connection without embarassing yourself a little. without hard conversations, or the space and will to learn and grow. without accepting and loving imperfection

How are you?

Hi sorry for the late response I’m doing well ❤️

Forgive me, I am soft and warm, but cruel and a coward, I know nothing but goodbye, goodbye

Harry and Louis were not supposed to be. And that was a fact Louis had been very aware of for the past decade.

It was just the way the universe was. And Louis knew there was no bending and pushing that would change the facts. Harry was his neighbor and his father’s best friend. A constant in Louis’s life for years. Sturdy and unmoving, with an ever present frown pulling on his mouth. Unattainable.

When Louis landed back in Texas after graduating college, he learned that sometimes the universe could bend a little at his will.
